Why Exhibit
What our exhibitors are saying
“This was our first time exhibiting at NeoCon and we did not know what to expect. We had a great start as we received an Interior Design HiP award and Best of NeoCon award for our product UNDERSTAND and our introduction EDIT was a HIP honoree. We were really pleased with the traffic that came through during the show days—and we received such a positive response for the design, playfulness, and quality of our products. As a Swedish-based company, NeoCon was a great show for us as we look to grow and expand in the North American market." - Malin Muskala, Mizetto
"The highlight of NeoCon 2022 was definitely the launch of our new Silen Space Hybrid range. It had been our vision for a long time to create universally accessible pods, so that everyone would feel welcome in the office. We were so delighted to see that people really care about the same topics in the US and that our vision was very well received. The launch of Hybrid range and the awards received confirmed that we are moving in the right direction and inspired us to go even further with our upcoming product developments by bringing silence to everyone.” - Endrus Arge, CEO & Founder of Silen Oü
“NeoCon was a great experience for us, it was our first time as an exhibitor and it was worth every minute! We had some great thought provoking conversations and made lots of new connections! We were so pleased to be a Gold winner of Best of NeoCon too – it made such a great start to the show.” – Representative from Frövi

What our attendees are saying
“This year NeoCon was all about getting people back to the office. It was about creating the best places possible to entice people. Business owners know there is no substitute for in-person collaboration when it comes to creative problem solving, and the companies that get their people back to the office sooner will do better...” – Ken Wilson, FAIA, FIIDA, ASID, LEED Fellow, Design Principal, Perkins&Will
"From the pioneering exhibitors to the powerful programming headlined by design heavyweights, It was an amazing experience being surrounded by so much talent from around the world. NeoCon showcases that design is our passion. Thank you to the fantastic design community for bringing innovation to the forefront.” - Chen Hui Spicer, Regional Design Leader, Nelson Worldwide
"It was great to see the industry's response to creating more agile and inclusive workplaces that support how people truly work in a hybrid world. We saw many built-in solutions for multiple configurations and functions, inclusive of noise reduction, addressing light sensitivity, and creating more social spaces." - Jocelyn Ramos, Designer, STUDIOS Architecture
